Nik Dag: Boys Paradise, Girls Dilemma
by Ellen Polk
Hunting season, which opened Nov. 10, will
close Saturday, Nov. 15.
This is the one Saturday night out of 52 when

are guaranteed, this is perhaps not the sporting

the girls can be assured of a date, and the fellows
can be their natural selves and not spend a dime.
Yes, this is the Saturday night of Nik Dag, the
traditional turnabout sponsored by the sophomore
class. On this night customary dating procedures
are reversed. The girl asks for the date, plays the
"gentleman role," and pays the check.
Each girl must make a corsage for her date,
and present it to him when she meets him. This
corsage should relate in some way to either the
boy himself or to the theme of Nik Dag, "Moon-light
on the Mississippi." A play can be made on
the boy's name, hobby, sport, personality, or chosen
profession.
Appetizers will be served in Bodien lounge at 5
p.m. Then the girl takes her date out for dinner,
showing him every courtesy such as opening and
closing doors and taking his coat.
A special program, directed by Bruce Leafblad,
will begin at 9 p.m. at the First Christian church
in Minneapolis. Tickets for this may be obtained
for $1.50 from Carol Bausman, Ann Fosberg, Jo
Anne Hudson, Lynn Johnson, Betty Larson, and
June McGillivray.
Girls get together beforehand and plan group
activities—powwows, lake picnics, bowling, house-parties—
to follow the program.
All girls have a 12 o'clock late that night.
The Nik Dag committee is headed by JoAnne
Hudson. Members are Ken Baird, Carol Bausman,
Stan Engstrom, Ann Fosberg, Lynn Johnson, Betty

Bethel Takes Conference Title

Bethel Hosts
ASA Group
On Nov. 22
American Scientific Affiliation
will hold its regional public meet-ings
at Bethel Nov. 22 from 3 to
7 p.m.
"Origin of Life" will be the sub-ject
of the main speaker, Dr.
Walter Hearn, biochemist from
Iowa State college. He will show
that the preconceived idea of a
gap between the living and non-living
is almost nonexistent.
Dr. Charles Hatfield, mathe-matics
professor at the University
of Minnesota, and G. Linwood
Barney, anthropology instructor at
Bethel, will speak on the relation-ship
between science and faith.
At the dinner meeting the possi-bility
of establishing a local ASA
chapter will be discussed and the
different programs of the group
will be enumerated.
ASA was organized in 1941 to
study topics relevant to the con-viction
that there is a compatible
association between scientific
knowledge and a conservative
Christian faith.
Dr. V. Elving Anderson, chair-man
of the Department of Biology;
Dr. David 0. Moberg, chairman of
the Department of Social Sciences;
Lawrence Starkey, associate pro-fessor
of philosophy; and Charles
Tucek, instructor in mathematics
and physics, represented Bethel on
the committee which planned this
meeting.
Everyone interested may attend,
Dr. Moberg said.

Paterson became a citizen of the
United States.
On Nov. 14, 1952, Ian, his
mother, and nine-year old twin
sisters, Janice and Isobel, sailed
from Southampton, England. The
day before they had left their
home in Scotland.
After going through a hurricane
at sea they arrived at 1 p.m.
Nov. 20 at Pier 90 in New York
harbor, Ian recalls.
Six months earlier Mr. Paterson
had come to work in the United
States. Now his family was join-ing
him to make their home in
Montclair, N. J.
Ian remembers one of his first
impressions was the drabness of
the grass. American games like
football seemed "silly" because
they didn't make any sense. But
he spent "hours whizzing carts
around" in the supermarkets —
there were no supermarkets in
Scotland.
The amount of freedom in the
schools sruprised him. Students
were allowed to disagree with their
"professors."
Calling himself a "true immi-grant
pioneer," Ian is the first
member of his family to become a
United States citizen.
Before an immigrant can become
a citizen, he must live in this coun-try
five years, pass a test, pay
fees, and file affidavits concern-ing
his character.
Having met all these qualifica-tions,
Ian signed the final papers
Behold, the Open Door will be
the theme for Missions Week, Nov.
17-21. Seven returned missionaries
will be on campus during this time
to take part in meetings held twice
and was sworn in as a citizen at
the Federal Courts building this
morning.
At present Ian is a junior at
Bethel with a major in political
science and a minor in history.
Future plans include either work
in the diplomatic field overseas
or radio work in the eastern Uni-ted
States.
Mystery Plans
For Saturday
Not Disclosed
Events taking place Saturday
evening, Nov. 22, are a mystery
to all but a few students on cam-pus.
The mystery evening has been
planned by the religious council.
Members of the council are very
secretive concerning plans.
Bob Rioker, chairman of the
religious council, urges all stu-dents
to keep this night free to
participate in the council's activity.
He is very cautious about giving
any information on the subject,
All members of the religious
council refuse to comment except
to say that this will be a very
different type of program than
previous ones.
The only other information avail-able
is that six large buses will be
leaving Bodien residence to take
students to this activity.
Wisconsin kicked off to open
the game. The strong wind that
'blew toward the Royals hampered
their passing game during the
first quarter, so Bethel stayed on
the ground. Bethel held a slight
advantage in yardage gained, but
two drives were stopped by fum-bles,
partly due to the bitter cold.
After Tech recovered Bethel's
first fumble the Royals settled
down, regained possession, and
started to roll off-tackle and a-round
end. Speedy halfback Dave
of over 80 languages with mission-aries
of various boards. He has
written several books for mission-aries,
pastors, and Sunday school
teachers.
These missionaries will be avail-able
for individual conferences
every afternoon.
Missionaries participating in
Missions Week are Rev. and Mrs.
William Hagstrom, Assam; Rev.
and Mrs. Warren Johnson, Assam;
Rev. and Mrs. Karl Lachler, Bra-zil;
and Miss Esther Robinson,
Ethiopia.
Rev. John Wilcox, Rev. Al Berg-falk,
and Rev. Franklin Nelson,
all from the Conference headquar-ters
in Chicago, will also partici-pate
in the programs.
,Gordh picked up two nice gains to
keep the offense rolling.
In the second quarter Dave
Gordh got off two fine punts that
set the Royals up for the first
score of the game. From Tech's
20 yard-line, quarterback Borms
threw to Baird, playing halfback,
on a screen pass to the left that
went all the way behind goad
downfield blocking. The extra
point attempt was stopped, but
Bethel had drawn first blood.
Actually Tech controlled the ball
most of the second half, but the
Royal's stiff defense held them
from scoring.
Bethel kicked off to open the
second half. After regaining pos-session
deep in Bethel territory
Dave Gordh caught the Wisconsin
defense completely off-guard when
he quick-kicked on third down for
60 yards to put the ball deep in
Tech territory.
Then Wisconin fumbled and
Bethel recovered. Quarterback Les
Borms threw a beautiful 30 yard
pass to end Del Hudson who caught
it in the end zone. Art Erickson
caught another of Borm's strikes
for the extra point to put Bethel
ahead 13-0.
Bethel again took control in the
fourth quarter. Game captain Paul
Evans, who played a tremendous
game, scored from the two yard
line on a fullback plunge. The
extra point attempt again was
stopped but the Royals held a 19
point lead.
Wisconsin, although hopelessly
behind, did not give up, but the
clock just ran out. Bethel had
taken its first conference champ-ionship
from a good team by
using concentrated team effort.
Crown Royally Won
by Dave Hagfeldt
Saturday, Nov. 8, the Bethel Royals became Badger-Gopher
conference champions, by defeating Wisconsin Tech 19-0.
It was a cold, drizzly, windy day in Platteville, Wis. Game-time
was 2 o'clock. Almost everyone was unsure of just what to
expect from this Wisconsin Tech team that was one-half a game
out of first place. This was a new experience for the Royals and
fans who had never before had the championship within their
grasp. The Royals played like champions and came out as champ-ions.
The supporters who went to Platteville for the game gave
them that extra spirit they needed.
daily. These meetings will be dur-ing
the morning chapel hour and
an evening vesper service from
6:45 to 7:45.
Panels, messages, and slides will
bring variation to the meetings.
Rev. Karl Lachler, missionary to
Brazil, will preside Wednesday
evening when a new Ethiopian film
will be shown.
Twin City churches will partici-pate
in a rally on Friday night
in the college fieldhouse. Rev. John
Wilcox, secretary of Foreign Mis-sions,
and Dr. Nida, linguist from
the American Bible Society, will
speak.
Dr. Nida has worked in over 30
countries and has shared problems
`True Immigrant Pioneer'
Ian Becomes U. S. Citizen
We're in basement' .. . . . . 'Party on third'
Negro Deplores Racial Conditions
"In human relations we are in the basement
and the party is on the third floor," said Dr.
Floyd Massey, pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist church
of St. Paul, in a recent college chapel service.
Skillfully attacking many myths which remain
active tools in the hands of the bigoted and the
unenlightened, Dr. Massey made an eloquent appeal
for recognition of the basic equality of all peoples
and the necessity for Christian action in imple-menting
this belief.
The major issue under consideration was seg-regation
in the North.
Citing examples of prejudice, Dr. Massey showed
how segregation is as great a problem in St. Paul
as it is in the South (which until now has served
as the prime example of segregation in the United
States).
Dr. Massey said that the key to the racial situa-tion,
as well as to the problem of minority groups
as a whole, is housing. Not until open housing is
available for all, regardless of race, creed, or na-tional
origin, will racial prejudice be abolished.
The validity of his argument is virtually incon-testable.
Although he made use of humor, pathos,
and hyperbole, his argument was logical and con-sistent
at all points. It did not depend on emotional
appeals or namecalling. It was fair, intelligent, per-suasive,
and decisive.
By specific references to actual events and situa-tions,
Dr. Massey was able to dispose of such
myths as the belief that Negroes lower the value
of property, that Negroes do not make good
neighbors, that Negroes •do not contribute to the
community welfare, and that Negroes are poor
economic risks.
Dr. Massey told of interracial cooperation in his
neighborhood on a school bond issue. His statement
that no marriages resulted from the joint efforts
of these groups drew hearty laughter from the
audience. As a matter of fact, he said, everyone
knows that one never marries the person next door.
Thus the statement that intermarriage is the
only possible outcome of racial integration is not
only highly inflammatory, but a patent fallacy as
well, in his opinion.
Understanding among different groups, neces-sary
in tearing down prejudices, can only be gained
when all peoples are free to live in the same neigh-borhood
and work together on community projects.
When this has transpired Americans will be
able to boast of a true free democratic society, but
only then.

As 'Response of Soul'
While walking the other after-noon
through the warm fall sun-hine
of our city's leaf-strewn land-scape,
I suddenly decided to visit
the good-sized church I was near-ing.
Except for an elderly woman
praying in a pew half-way down
and a quiet-voiced nun drilling six
small novitiate altar boys carry-ing
long candlesticks, I was alone.
Because of previous acquaintance
with Catholicism my visit was not

Is It Right?
Dear Editor,
'Can you imagine keeping one
book out of our beloved school
library for a few days (2 1/2) over
the required time and being charg-ed
five to six dollars for this
"major crime ?" I can. I'm about
to receive such a fine.
In accord with the present li-brary
policies, if you make the
tragic mistake—consciously or un-consciously—
of not bringing an
overdue reserve book back to the
library desk, a fine of 25 cents
per hour for the first day and one
dollar every succeeding day per
book will be imposed. It is also the
present policy of the library to
charge these fines without notice.
When students face the possi-bility
of getting a bill ranging
into the dollar signs without re-ceiving
notice that a book is over-due—
if the library so prefer—
something is wrong. Agreed?

Council Wins OK
Dear Editor,
The social council and cast of
Bethel's version of Songs from
South Pacific deserve a round of
applause for their Oct. 31 endeavor.
The production was well-execut-ed,
the cast excellent, and every-thing
was done in good taste well-nigh
befitting a school such as
ours.
The student body says a hearty
thank you to all who participated
in and worked on the production.

due to impulsive curiosity or field
work for a comparative study of
denominations. Thus my eye was
not inquisitively taken up with
the appointments of the church's
interior nor my conscience offended
by the burning candles, the part
of the mass's ritual being prac-ticed
by the sister and her soldier-ly
charges, the richly decorated
altar, the knee rests in the pews,
or the position of the pulpit to
one side. On the contrary, having
been raised in the noisy gregarious-ness
of a Baptist church I found
the beautiful stained glass win-dows,
the restrained, modern brick
architecture, and the dim, soft-ened
light of the building very
peaceful and reverent. The life-sized
figure of the crucified Christ,
suspended over the altar and par-tially
illuminated by the moving
glow of the acolytes' candles, in-evitably
drew my attention to it-self
and to what it symbolized.
From the back of the long, high-ceilinged
church, with the familiar,
lighter outer world represented by
the dimly sensed door a few steps
behind, I felt drawn into the scene
before me. Once again the worship-inducing
spirit of the home of
high church ritualism impressed
itself upon me.
Thoughts came and went through
my consciousness — mostly about
worship: what it really consisted
of; and what, if any, externals
best enhanced it. Church service
itself is united worship, but ulti-mately
worship, as salvation, must
be between God and the individual.
Worship is the response of the
soul " ... in spirit and in truth
..." to a sovereign God who shows
that He is Love. Primarily the
occurrence and quality of worship
results from man's communion
with Him, not from situation or
circumstance. For if I really de-sired
to worship God ... He alone,
neither the stark simplicity of a
Quaker meeting, the formalism of
an Anglican ritual, nor even the
informality of a Baptist service
would hinder true worship of Him
in spirit and in truth.
Yet even while standing con-templative,
I was aware of my
surroundings mediating in me an
attitude of reverent meditation.
After a short prayer I went back
into the foyer, read briefly of
some literature, and started back
home toward Bethel.
by Dalphy Fagerstrom, Ph.D.
Chairman, Department of
History and Political Science
Most observers agree that the
recent elections strengthened lib-eral
and weakened conservative
forces in Congress and in other
political 'places. Whether this is
viewed as good or bad depends
much on definitions. In loose cur-rent
usage the terms liberal and
conservative include chaotic left-ists
and rightists who often hinder
rather than help the groups with
which they are linked. The term
liberal, in its best sense, denotes
an assumption that change is con-stant
and that institutions and
practices must undergo change
accordingly or become outdated.
The term conservative, in its best
sense, denotes a concern to pre-serve
values and a stress on re-straint
and even "halts" to make
possible evaluation and consolida-tion.
Since 1946, the Congresses have
had strong conservative majorities
through Republican and southern
Democratic coalitions, and since
1952 the administration has added
its conservative weight to that of
Congress. Thus the recent elections
produced the first significant
change in the political orientation
of American government since
World War II. What can we hope
for from this change ?
Under some circumstances the
general result of a conservative
period might be wholesome con-solidation
of social gains. Unfor-tunately,

Chances are you'd never notice
the Ten O'Clock Scholar if it

the outside in daylight it looks
like a vacant grocery store, and
at night it could be mistaken for
one of the Minnesota Ag students'
gathering houses. But the Scholar
is a place to eat in, talk in, and
look at. The estaiblishment remains
anonymous until you get close
enough to notice the otherwise
obscure yellow cardboard sign hung
in the window announcing the

period has been one of rapid and
profound change for which the
conservative predominance has
been particularly unsuited. The
need, in face of new and changing
problems, is new approaches and
programs, but precisely these have
not been the distinguishing fea-ture
of political conservatives in
any age. Certainly, recent Ameri-can
policies, foreign and domestic,
have been characterized by man-euvers
of negation loudly described
as "standing firm".
The results in foreign affairs
have been stalemate as best on
the China question, frustration re-garding
India, and lost positions
in the Middle East, to cite a few
examples. A stubbornly held old
fashioned economic nationalism,
deters consistent programs for in-ternational
economic cooperation.
On most major domestic prob-lems
also, conservative hesitation
resulted in frustration. The farm
problem is essentially in stale-mate;
the lead on integration given
by the Supreme Court has not been
supported by resources of the
executive branch; reliance mainly
upon "natural" economic forces
for recovery increased the human
costs of recession; the education
problem was discussed indignantly
but agreement on a significant
improvement program has not
been reached; no satisfactory pro-gram
for regulating institutions
of organized labor has been en-acted.
The juxtaposition of con-servative
majorities and rapid so-cial
change bred its inevitable

Music, ranging from light jazz
to classical, plays softly in the
background. Jim Helling, owner

He wanted to affect an at-mosphere

through the use of rock

situation Jim uses his own hi-fi,
extension, and records and so is
able to control the type of music

The Scholar is divided in two
parts by a brick wall planter, from
which philadendron curves upward
in ivy-fashion around black and
red supports that reach to the
ceiling. One side of the wall is
for those who have to grab a bite

chairs and tables. (All chairs were

you can let your legs dangle or

like, you need only swing your

On the other side of the wall,
through the leaves, are the chairs
and tables for those who want to

tables and wicker-basket chairs are
low and are highly conducive to
relaxability.

sweep.
What, then, can we hope for?
Assuming that a liberally orien-ted
Democratic president in 1960
can, as in the past, force conserva-tive
Democrats into line by artful
patronage pressure and that there-fore
liberals can exercise power in
the next few years, might the
clutter of stalemates be broken?
Can we now modify our almost
fatalistic 'pessimism engendered by
the experience of the last dozen
years ? 'Surely, if the new Congress
and eventually the administration
actually do embody liberalism in
the best sense, there is hope for a
series of creative programs design-ed
to meet mid-twentieth century
problems. Other periods of stress
evoked creative epochs in Ameri-can
history. Perhaps we stand on
the threshold of another fruitful
period in American social, political,

Meet When Possible Student Group Makes Protest
Best Class Schedule
One of the more prominent
members of the Bethel community,
no doubt stimulated by certain
comments on the editorial page,
has reacted to undue emphasis be-ing
placed on the social aspect of
college. Perhaps this could be re-phrased
to state that the following
remarks are intended to raise cer-tain
questions regarding an ade-quate
class schedule which in turn
becomes a question of proper em-phasis
in college: social and intel-lectual.—
ed.
Classes must never interfere
with the social adjustment of
Bethel's students, and they must
not be scheduled at times when
examinations may not be given
or when assignments cannot come
due.
All Saturday classes must there-fore
be eliminated, for they com-pete
with football and basketball,
hinder preparation for Sunday, and
obstruct prinking for the evening's
dates.
Monday morning classes must be
discarded. This • will enable stu-dents
to rest from the strenuous
"church-related activities" , of the
Lord's Day of Rest.
Classes must never be held at
noon, for competition with the
practice times of musical organi-zations
is unethical in a Christian
school where sacred numbers are
sung to the glory of God.
Wednesday evening is church
night. As good watch-care mem-bers,
students attend midweek ser-vices
and cannot be prepared for
Thursday morning classes.
Campus organizations require
time off on Fridays in order to
prepare for Friday evening activi-ties.
In order to be fair to all, stu-dent
leaders must not be made the
objects of discrimination by the
scheduling of classes on Fridays.
Other afternoons of the week
are spent in athletics, at work, and
in maintenance of automobiles, so
all afternoon classes must be can-celed.
Few students and faculty mem-bers
have clear minds early in
the morning, so all eight o'clock
classes must be dropped.
Classes therefore must be limit-ed
to periods two, three, and four
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings,
except when there would interfere
with such activities as work on
student publications, musicales and
plays, debates and other forensics,
over-time chapels, bus driving,
field trips, etc.
These classes will, of course, be
dismissed the day after prolonged
Student Senate sessions or meet-ings
of other student organiza-tions
and committees or whenever
faculty members are involved in
research, writing, committee work,
attendance at professional meet-ings,
speaking engagements, or
counseling students on how to
meet graduation requirements with
the least amount of effort.

Mrs. Cote remembers that draw-ing
occupied her time when she
was four and five years old.
"I always had in mind going
into the arts, but the depression
came, and I was not able to go to
school," she explains.
After a year at the University
of Minnesota, Mrs. Cote went back
to working, taking night courses,
and spending spare time at art
exhibits. One of her jobs was de-signing
greeting cards.
Ten years ago Mrs. Cote—mar-ried
and mother of a five-year old
son and a six-year old daughter
—returned to school.
After three years of night
classes and some time spent in
day school at the Minneapolis In-stitute
of Art, Mrs. Cote started
to paint independently.
Later she studied with Oskar
Kokoschka during his first stay
in Minneapolis.
For the past five years Mrs.
Cote has been represented in the
State Fair art show. During Octo-ber
she had a showing of 35 paint-ings
and drawings in the Rainbow
cafe.
She has a studio in partnership
with another woman artist in Min-neapolis.
Paintings and drawings by Lor-raine
Cote, a Minneapolis artist,
are on exhibit in the student cen-ter
until Nov. 22.

USNSA policy is determined by
delegates from member schools

In a statement referring to his

the threatened abolition of public
education has become a "terrible
reality" in Little Rock, Front
Royal, Arlington, Norfolk, and
Charlottesville. He called the school
integration stalemate "a tragedy
of silence—the silence of individual
citizens who refuse to stand up

silence of many of our nation's

(USNSA, Philadelphia) President
Eisenhower, Attorney General
Rogers, Virginia's Governor J.
Lindsey Almond, and Arkansas'
Governor Orval Faubus recently
received messages from the U.S.
National Student association call-ing
for leadership in the school
desegregation crisis.
Speaking for one million stu-dents,
USNSA president Robert
R. Kiley sent telegrams to the
political and judicial leaders con-demning
attempts to avoid Su-preme
Court integration rulings
through abolition of public educa-tion
in Southern communities.
"USINSA condemns all efforts
to evade the clear meaning of the
law and decision of the Supreme,
Court through the abolition of pub-lic
schools and the diversion of
public funds to supposedly private
institutions," Kiley said in tele-grams
to Faubus and Almond. "We
decry with equal vigor any de-struction
of the system of univer-sal,
free public schools which is
essential to the preservation of
our free society, our economic pro-gress,
and attainments, and our
national defense."
Kiley's messages to the Presi-dent
and the Attorney General
called upon them to provide "the
moral leadership vital 'to the
peaceful and speedy dissolution
of educational practices contrary
to the law and to act with speed
and resolution to frustrate those
who by violating the law 'would
deny the rights and opportunities
of their 'brothers."

The team was finally ready. The

prayerfully asked God to enable
the team to play the best that
they knew how, and then they were
there.
Thirty-seven fans from St. Paul

mid-western towns came
to cheer home-town boys.
An hour and a half later all
doubt was gone: Bethel college

above all, no one doubted.

Before The Storm
A Picture Of The Calm az Chuck-Whole
The population of Dickeyville,
Wis. jumped from 69 to 106 on
the night of Nov. 7. The Bethel
Royals had arrived: 37 football
players, coaches, managers, stati-stician,
and bus driver (he was
an honorary Bethelite).
If there was any doubt in the
minds of any of the 37 as to cap-turing
the Badger-Gopher confer-ence
championship, it stayed in
the back of the mind. As the team
spread out for a good night's
sleep, three and four in a room,
and private conversations pointed
out the oneness of spirit and desire
to win, this doubt was pushed
even farther back.
In the morning time was occu-pied
by side interests which didn't
interest anyone. The eight-mile
ride to Platteville was uneventful
as well as the Saturday morning
television programs seen at the
Platteville country club while the
team waited for breakfast. Some

Breakfast was as uneventful as

their bus and rode toward Platte-ville.
Finding the school by asking
directions of "you can't get there

been awfully funny had the future
task not been so significant.
The team donned their football
gear in a class room, a plain class
room with chair-desks and a long
table. 'Street clothes were strewn
around the room. Partially used
rolls of tape were lying around.
Each player was tending to his
own particular need. Taped to a
blackboard was a T-shirt bearing
the image of a familiar smiling
face—and the also familiar words

Jubilant Fans Traditionalize
Storm Bodien New Sidewalk
by C. N. Elven
A gun is fired and is faintly heard through the howl of the wind
and wild cheering. Four o'clock Saturday the Blue and Gold of Bethel
won the B. G. C. championship and all its glory, in a long to be re-membered
19-0 shutout.
About 11:30 the team and a load of loyal rooters streamed from
their buses breaking the silence with wild, noisy, revelry. Ma Chris's
efforts were futile to keep the jubilant flans from the Women's Dorm.
Half the team sped through the ladies' halls shouting "We're champ-ions—
we did it—we did it!"
A victory bonfire was started on the sidewalk; bedraggled fans
and fans not so bedraggled, gathered around and sang the school song
and stood by being happy.
Don Sension: I can't think of a
better way to end my college
football career—When I turn pro
—ah-'well ("He'll get a divorce,"
interrupted his wife, Pris.)
Lance Dailey : Each time I got
my man with a good block that
championship was that much clos-er;
and it really tastes good.
Connie Woodall: We won, we
won, and we're champions, and we
shut 'em out—zero, nothing—what
a way to get it.
Jerry Oas: Most of us were
really up for 'em—breaks were
constantly a factor for both sides. The wind was awful cold, swept
across the prairie all day.
A Fan: They were great—the guys hit like they never hit before.
And that Hudson, you should have seen him catch that TD pass. Both
Linden and Hudson were murder on defense.
Stu Luckman: I'm the happiest guy in the world; it was great to
be captain of such a tremendous team. I was proud of the terrific team
effort, each guy did his part real well.
Ken Baird: The man with the golden arm (Les Borms) came
through—he pitched two passes for touchdowns and completed another
to Art Erickson for another point.
Little Don J. Their line was small—but much faster than expected
—Man it was cold out there.

outcomes of the opening two basketball games, (the elder Healy
wouldn't answer) said, "Daddy, I don't have a football." (And he com-plains
about student apathy) ...Detroit has been given new life and
hope. Miss U.S. won her last races sporting a Rolls Royce engine lifted

Seattle's master hydroplane mechanics.

the girls can be assured of a date, and the fellows
can be their natural selves and not spend a dime.
Yes, this is the Saturday night of Nik Dag, the
traditional turnabout sponsored by the sophomore
class. On this night customary dating procedures
are reversed. The girl asks for the date, plays the
"gentleman role," and pays the check.
Each girl must make a corsage for her date,
and present it to him when she meets him. This
corsage should relate in some way to either the
boy himself or to the theme of Nik Dag, "Moon-light
on the Mississippi." A play can be made on
the boy's name, hobby, sport, personality, or chosen
profession.
Appetizers will be served in Bodien lounge at 5
p.m. Then the girl takes her date out for dinner,
showing him every courtesy such as opening and
closing doors and taking his coat.
A special program, directed by Bruce Leafblad,
will begin at 9 p.m. at the First Christian church
in Minneapolis. Tickets for this may be obtained
for $1.50 from Carol Bausman, Ann Fosberg, Jo
Anne Hudson, Lynn Johnson, Betty Larson, and
June McGillivray.
Girls get together beforehand and plan group
activities—powwows, lake picnics, bowling, house-parties—
to follow the program.
All girls have a 12 o'clock late that night.
The Nik Dag committee is headed by JoAnne

Bethel Hosts
ASA Group
On Nov. 22
American Scientific Affiliation
will hold its regional public meet-ings
at Bethel Nov. 22 from 3 to
7 p.m.
"Origin of Life" will be the sub-ject
of the main speaker, Dr.
Walter Hearn, biochemist from
Iowa State college. He will show
that the preconceived idea of a
gap between the living and non-living
is almost nonexistent.
Dr. Charles Hatfield, mathe-matics
professor at the University
of Minnesota, and G. Linwood
Barney, anthropology instructor at
Bethel, will speak on the relation-ship
between science and faith.
At the dinner meeting the possi-bility
of establishing a local ASA
chapter will be discussed and the
different programs of the group
will be enumerated.
ASA was organized in 1941 to
study topics relevant to the con-viction
that there is a compatible
association between scientific
knowledge and a conservative
Christian faith.
Dr. V. Elving Anderson, chair-man
of the Department of Biology;
Dr. David 0. Moberg, chairman of
the Department of Social Sciences;
Lawrence Starkey, associate pro-fessor
of philosophy; and Charles
Tucek, instructor in mathematics
and physics, represented Bethel on
the committee which planned this
meeting.
Everyone interested may attend,
Dr. Moberg said.

Paterson became a citizen of the
United States.
On Nov. 14, 1952, Ian, his
mother, and nine-year old twin
sisters, Janice and Isobel, sailed
from Southampton, England. The
day before they had left their
home in Scotland.
After going through a hurricane
at sea they arrived at 1 p.m.
Nov. 20 at Pier 90 in New York
harbor, Ian recalls.
Six months earlier Mr. Paterson
had come to work in the United
States. Now his family was join-ing
him to make their home in
Montclair, N. J.
Ian remembers one of his first
impressions was the drabness of
the grass. American games like
football seemed "silly" because
they didn't make any sense. But
he spent "hours whizzing carts
around" in the supermarkets —
there were no supermarkets in
Scotland.
The amount of freedom in the
schools sruprised him. Students
were allowed to disagree with their
"professors."
Calling himself a "true immi-grant
pioneer," Ian is the first
member of his family to become a
United States citizen.
Before an immigrant can become
a citizen, he must live in this coun-try
five years, pass a test, pay
fees, and file affidavits concern-ing
his character.
Having met all these qualifica-tions,
Ian signed the final papers

At present Ian is a junior at
Bethel with a major in political
science and a minor in history.
Future plans include either work
in the diplomatic field overseas
or radio work in the eastern Uni-ted
States.
Mystery Plans
For Saturday
Not Disclosed
Events taking place Saturday
evening, Nov. 22, are a mystery
to all but a few students on cam-pus.
The mystery evening has been
planned by the religious council.
Members of the council are very
secretive concerning plans.
Bob Rioker, chairman of the
religious council, urges all stu-dents
to keep this night free to
participate in the council's activity.
He is very cautious about giving
any information on the subject,
All members of the religious
council refuse to comment except
to say that this will be a very
different type of program than
previous ones.
The only other information avail-able
is that six large buses will be
leaving Bodien residence to take
students to this activity.
Wisconsin kicked off to open
the game. The strong wind that
'blew toward the Royals hampered
their passing game during the
first quarter, so Bethel stayed on
the ground. Bethel held a slight
advantage in yardage gained, but
two drives were stopped by fum-bles,
partly due to the bitter cold.
After Tech recovered Bethel's
first fumble the Royals settled
down, regained possession, and
started to roll off-tackle and a-round
end. Speedy halfback Dave

These missionaries will be avail-able

Missionaries participating in
Missions Week are Rev. and Mrs.
William Hagstrom, Assam; Rev.
and Mrs. Warren Johnson, Assam;
Rev. and Mrs. Karl Lachler, Bra-zil;
and Miss Esther Robinson,
Ethiopia.
Rev. John Wilcox, Rev. Al Berg-falk,
and Rev. Franklin Nelson,
all from the Conference headquar-ters
in Chicago, will also partici-pate
in the programs.
,Gordh picked up two nice gains to
keep the offense rolling.
In the second quarter Dave
Gordh got off two fine punts that
set the Royals up for the first
score of the game. From Tech's
20 yard-line, quarterback Borms
threw to Baird, playing halfback,
on a screen pass to the left that
went all the way behind goad
downfield blocking. The extra
point attempt was stopped, but
Bethel had drawn first blood.
Actually Tech controlled the ball
most of the second half, but the
Royal's stiff defense held them
from scoring.
Bethel kicked off to open the
second half. After regaining pos-session
deep in Bethel territory
Dave Gordh caught the Wisconsin
defense completely off-guard when
he quick-kicked on third down for
60 yards to put the ball deep in
Tech territory.
Then Wisconin fumbled and
Bethel recovered. Quarterback Les
Borms threw a beautiful 30 yard
pass to end Del Hudson who caught
it in the end zone. Art Erickson
caught another of Borm's strikes
for the extra point to put Bethel
ahead 13-0.
Bethel again took control in the
fourth quarter. Game captain Paul
Evans, who played a tremendous
game, scored from the two yard
line on a fullback plunge. The
extra point attempt again was
stopped but the Royals held a 19
point lead.
Wisconsin, although hopelessly
behind, did not give up, but the
clock just ran out. Bethel had
taken its first conference champ-ionship
from a good team by
using concentrated team effort.
Crown Royally Won
by Dave Hagfeldt
Saturday, Nov. 8, the Bethel Royals became Badger-Gopher
conference champions, by defeating Wisconsin Tech 19-0.
It was a cold, drizzly, windy day in Platteville, Wis. Game-time
was 2 o'clock. Almost everyone was unsure of just what to
expect from this Wisconsin Tech team that was one-half a game
out of first place. This was a new experience for the Royals and
fans who had never before had the championship within their
grasp. The Royals played like champions and came out as champ-ions.
The supporters who went to Platteville for the game gave
them that extra spirit they needed.

the morning chapel hour and

6:45 to 7:45.
Panels, messages, and slides will

Rev. Karl Lachler, missionary to
Brazil, will preside Wednesday
evening when a new Ethiopian film
will be shown.

`True Immigrant Pioneer'
Ian Becomes U. S. Citizen
We're in basement' .. . . . . 'Party on third'
Negro Deplores Racial Conditions
"In human relations we are in the basement
and the party is on the third floor," said Dr.
Floyd Massey, pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist church
of St. Paul, in a recent college chapel service.
Skillfully attacking many myths which remain
active tools in the hands of the bigoted and the
unenlightened, Dr. Massey made an eloquent appeal
for recognition of the basic equality of all peoples
and the necessity for Christian action in imple-menting
this belief.
The major issue under consideration was seg-regation
in the North.
Citing examples of prejudice, Dr. Massey showed
how segregation is as great a problem in St. Paul
as it is in the South (which until now has served
as the prime example of segregation in the United
States).
Dr. Massey said that the key to the racial situa-tion,
as well as to the problem of minority groups
as a whole, is housing. Not until open housing is
available for all, regardless of race, creed, or na-tional
origin, will racial prejudice be abolished.
The validity of his argument is virtually incon-testable.
Although he made use of humor, pathos,
and hyperbole, his argument was logical and con-sistent
at all points. It did not depend on emotional
appeals or namecalling. It was fair, intelligent, per-suasive,
and decisive.
By specific references to actual events and situa-tions,
Dr. Massey was able to dispose of such
myths as the belief that Negroes lower the value
of property, that Negroes do not make good
neighbors, that Negroes •do not contribute to the
community welfare, and that Negroes are poor
economic risks.
Dr. Massey told of interracial cooperation in his
neighborhood on a school bond issue. His statement
that no marriages resulted from the joint efforts
of these groups drew hearty laughter from the
audience. As a matter of fact, he said, everyone
knows that one never marries the person next door.
Thus the statement that intermarriage is the
only possible outcome of racial integration is not
only highly inflammatory, but a patent fallacy as
well, in his opinion.
Understanding among different groups, neces-sary
in tearing down prejudices, can only be gained
when all peoples are free to live in the same neigh-borhood
and work together on community projects.
When this has transpired Americans will be
able to boast of a true free democratic society, but
only then.

As 'Response of Soul'

I suddenly decided to visit
the good-sized church I was near-ing.
Except for an elderly woman
praying in a pew half-way down

small novitiate altar boys carry-ing
long candlesticks, I was alone.

Is It Right?
Dear Editor,
'Can you imagine keeping one
book out of our beloved school
library for a few days (2 1/2) over
the required time and being charg-ed
five to six dollars for this
"major crime ?" I can. I'm about
to receive such a fine.
In accord with the present li-brary
policies, if you make the
tragic mistake—consciously or un-consciously—
of not bringing an
overdue reserve book back to the
library desk, a fine of 25 cents
per hour for the first day and one
dollar every succeeding day per
book will be imposed. It is also the
present policy of the library to
charge these fines without notice.
When students face the possi-bility
of getting a bill ranging
into the dollar signs without re-ceiving
notice that a book is over-due—
if the library so prefer—
something is wrong. Agreed?

Council Wins OK
Dear Editor,
The social council and cast of
Bethel's version of Songs from
South Pacific deserve a round of
applause for their Oct. 31 endeavor.
The production was well-execut-ed,
the cast excellent, and every-thing
was done in good taste well-nigh

ours.
The student body says a hearty
thank you to all who participated

due to impulsive curiosity or field
work for a comparative study of
denominations. Thus my eye was
not inquisitively taken up with
the appointments of the church's
interior nor my conscience offended
by the burning candles, the part
of the mass's ritual being prac-ticed
by the sister and her soldier-ly
charges, the richly decorated
altar, the knee rests in the pews,
or the position of the pulpit to
one side. On the contrary, having
been raised in the noisy gregarious-ness
of a Baptist church I found
the beautiful stained glass win-dows,
the restrained, modern brick
architecture, and the dim, soft-ened
light of the building very
peaceful and reverent. The life-sized
figure of the crucified Christ,
suspended over the altar and par-tially
illuminated by the moving
glow of the acolytes' candles, in-evitably
drew my attention to it-self
and to what it symbolized.
From the back of the long, high-ceilinged
church, with the familiar,
lighter outer world represented by
the dimly sensed door a few steps
behind, I felt drawn into the scene
before me. Once again the worship-inducing
spirit of the home of
high church ritualism impressed
itself upon me.
Thoughts came and went through
my consciousness — mostly about
worship: what it really consisted
of; and what, if any, externals
best enhanced it. Church service
itself is united worship, but ulti-mately
worship, as salvation, must
be between God and the individual.
Worship is the response of the
soul " ... in spirit and in truth
..." to a sovereign God who shows
that He is Love. Primarily the
occurrence and quality of worship
results from man's communion
with Him, not from situation or
circumstance. For if I really de-sired
to worship God ... He alone,
neither the stark simplicity of a
Quaker meeting, the formalism of
an Anglican ritual, nor even the
informality of a Baptist service
would hinder true worship of Him
in spirit and in truth.
Yet even while standing con-templative,
I was aware of my
surroundings mediating in me an
attitude of reverent meditation.
After a short prayer I went back
into the foyer, read briefly of
some literature, and started back
home toward Bethel.
by Dalphy Fagerstrom, Ph.D.
Chairman, Department of
History and Political Science
Most observers agree that the
recent elections strengthened lib-eral
and weakened conservative
forces in Congress and in other
political 'places. Whether this is
viewed as good or bad depends
much on definitions. In loose cur-rent
usage the terms liberal and
conservative include chaotic left-ists
and rightists who often hinder
rather than help the groups with
which they are linked. The term
liberal, in its best sense, denotes
an assumption that change is con-stant
and that institutions and
practices must undergo change
accordingly or become outdated.
The term conservative, in its best
sense, denotes a concern to pre-serve
values and a stress on re-straint
and even "halts" to make
possible evaluation and consolida-tion.
Since 1946, the Congresses have
had strong conservative majorities
through Republican and southern
Democratic coalitions, and since
1952 the administration has added
its conservative weight to that of
Congress. Thus the recent elections
produced the first significant
change in the political orientation
of American government since
World War II. What can we hope
for from this change ?
Under some circumstances the
general result of a conservative
period might be wholesome con-solidation
of social gains. Unfor-tunately,

Chances are you'd never notice
the Ten O'Clock Scholar if it
weren't pointed out to you. From
the outside in daylight it looks
like a vacant grocery store, and
at night it could be mistaken for
one of the Minnesota Ag students'
gathering houses. But the Scholar
is a place to eat in, talk in, and
look at. The estaiblishment remains
anonymous until you get close
enough to notice the otherwise
obscure yellow cardboard sign hung
in the window announcing the
place.

strike the senses. My first
main impression was the paintings

Most of these are the work of
period has been one of rapid and
profound change for which the
conservative predominance has
been particularly unsuited. The
need, in face of new and changing
problems, is new approaches and
programs, but precisely these have
not been the distinguishing fea-ture
of political conservatives in
any age. Certainly, recent Ameri-can
policies, foreign and domestic,
have been characterized by man-euvers
of negation loudly described
as "standing firm".
The results in foreign affairs
have been stalemate as best on
the China question, frustration re-garding
India, and lost positions
in the Middle East, to cite a few
examples. A stubbornly held old
fashioned economic nationalism,
deters consistent programs for in-ternational
economic cooperation.
On most major domestic prob-lems
also, conservative hesitation
resulted in frustration. The farm
problem is essentially in stale-mate;
the lead on integration given
by the Supreme Court has not been
supported by resources of the
executive branch; reliance mainly
upon "natural" economic forces
for recovery increased the human
costs of recession; the education
problem was discussed indignantly
but agreement on a significant
improvement program has not
been reached; no satisfactory pro-gram
for regulating institutions
of organized labor has been en-acted.
The juxtaposition of con-servative
majorities and rapid so-cial
change bred its inevitable

Music, ranging from light jazz
to classical, plays softly in the
background. Jim Helling, owner
and Hamline graduate, decided
against the installation of a juke-box.
He wanted to affect an at-mosphere
which could not be at-tained
through the use of rock
and roll records. In his present
situation Jim uses his own hi-fi,
extension, and records and so is
able to control the type of music
played.
The Scholar is divided in two
parts by a brick wall planter, from
which philadendron curves upward
in ivy-fashion around black and
red supports that reach to the
ceiling. One side of the wall is
for those who have to grab a bite
and go. 'On this side are the high
chairs and tables. (All chairs were
imported from Hong Kong.) Here
you can let your legs dangle or
swing them to and fro. (If you
like, you need only swing your
right leg or your left leg.)
On the other side of the wall,
through the leaves, are the chairs
and tables for those who want to
relax and are in no hurry. These
tables and wicker-basket chairs are
low and are highly conducive to
relaxability.
Then, of course, there is food,

sweep.
What, then, can we hope for?
Assuming that a liberally orien-ted
Democratic president in 1960
can, as in the past, force conserva-tive
Democrats into line by artful
patronage pressure and that there-fore
liberals can exercise power in
the next few years, might the
clutter of stalemates be broken?
Can we now modify our almost
fatalistic 'pessimism engendered by
the experience of the last dozen
years ? 'Surely, if the new Congress
and eventually the administration
actually do embody liberalism in
the best sense, there is hope for a
series of creative programs design-ed
to meet mid-twentieth century
problems. Other periods of stress
evoked creative epochs in Ameri-can
history. Perhaps we stand on
the threshold of another fruitful
period in American social, political,
and especially international his-tory.

Meet When Possible Student Group Makes Protest
Best Class Schedule
One of the more prominent
members of the Bethel community,
no doubt stimulated by certain
comments on the editorial page,
has reacted to undue emphasis be-ing
placed on the social aspect of
college. Perhaps this could be re-phrased
to state that the following
remarks are intended to raise cer-tain
questions regarding an ade-quate
class schedule which in turn
becomes a question of proper em-phasis
in college: social and intel-lectual.—
ed.
Classes must never interfere
with the social adjustment of
Bethel's students, and they must
not be scheduled at times when
examinations may not be given
or when assignments cannot come
due.
All Saturday classes must there-fore
be eliminated, for they com-pete
with football and basketball,
hinder preparation for Sunday, and
obstruct prinking for the evening's
dates.
Monday morning classes must be
discarded. This • will enable stu-dents
to rest from the strenuous
"church-related activities" , of the
Lord's Day of Rest.
Classes must never be held at
noon, for competition with the
practice times of musical organi-zations
is unethical in a Christian
school where sacred numbers are
sung to the glory of God.
Wednesday evening is church
night. As good watch-care mem-bers,
students attend midweek ser-vices
and cannot be prepared for
Thursday morning classes.
Campus organizations require
time off on Fridays in order to
prepare for Friday evening activi-ties.
In order to be fair to all, stu-dent
leaders must not be made the
objects of discrimination by the
scheduling of classes on Fridays.
Other afternoons of the week
are spent in athletics, at work, and
in maintenance of automobiles, so
all afternoon classes must be can-celed.
Few students and faculty mem-bers
have clear minds early in
the morning, so all eight o'clock
classes must be dropped.
Classes therefore must be limit-ed
to periods two, three, and four
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings,
except when there would interfere
with such activities as work on
student publications, musicales and
plays, debates and other forensics,
over-time chapels, bus driving,
field trips, etc.
These classes will, of course, be
dismissed the day after prolonged
Student Senate sessions or meet-ings
of other student organiza-tions
and committees or whenever
faculty members are involved in
research, writing, committee work,
attendance at professional meet-ings,
speaking engagements, or
counseling students on how to
meet graduation requirements with
the least amount of effort.

Mrs. Cote remembers that draw-ing
occupied her time when she
was four and five years old.
"I always had in mind going
into the arts, but the depression
came, and I was not able to go to
school," she explains.
After a year at the University
of Minnesota, Mrs. Cote went back
to working, taking night courses,
and spending spare time at art
exhibits. One of her jobs was de-signing
greeting cards.
Ten years ago Mrs. Cote—mar-ried
and mother of a five-year old
son and a six-year old daughter
—returned to school.
After three years of night
classes and some time spent in
day school at the Minneapolis In-stitute
of Art, Mrs. Cote started
to paint independently.
Later she studied with Oskar
Kokoschka during his first stay
in Minneapolis.
For the past five years Mrs.
Cote has been represented in the
State Fair art show. During Octo-ber
she had a showing of 35 paint-ings
and drawings in the Rainbow
cafe.
She has a studio in partnership
with another woman artist in Min-neapolis.
Paintings and drawings by Lor-raine
Cote, a Minneapolis artist,
are on exhibit in the student cen-ter
until Nov. 22.

USNSA policy is determined by
delegates from member schools
at the annual National Student
Congress. Policy declarations on
desegregation express vigorous op-position
to "all actions, legislative
or otherwise, which in effect frus-trate
and prevent the right and
obligation of local communities
to progress toward compliance
with the decision of the Supreme
Court."
In a statement referring to his
telegrams, Kiley pointed out that
the threatened abolition of public
education has become a "terrible
reality" in Little Rock, Front
Royal, Arlington, Norfolk, and
Charlottesville. He called the school
integration stalemate "a tragedy
of silence—the silence of individual
citizens who refuse to stand up
and be counted, the deafening
silence of many of our nation's
leaders when looked to for guid-ance."

(USNSA, Philadelphia) President
Eisenhower, Attorney General
Rogers, Virginia's Governor J.
Lindsey Almond, and Arkansas'
Governor Orval Faubus recently
received messages from the U.S.
National Student association call-ing
for leadership in the school
desegregation crisis.
Speaking for one million stu-dents,
USNSA president Robert
R. Kiley sent telegrams to the
political and judicial leaders con-demning
attempts to avoid Su-preme
Court integration rulings
through abolition of public educa-tion
in Southern communities.
"USINSA condemns all efforts
to evade the clear meaning of the
law and decision of the Supreme,
Court through the abolition of pub-lic
schools and the diversion of
public funds to supposedly private
institutions," Kiley said in tele-grams
to Faubus and Almond. "We
decry with equal vigor any de-struction
of the system of univer-sal,
free public schools which is
essential to the preservation of
our free society, our economic pro-gress,
and attainments, and our
national defense."
Kiley's messages to the Presi-dent
and the Attorney General
called upon them to provide "the
moral leadership vital 'to the
peaceful and speedy dissolution
of educational practices contrary
to the law and to act with speed
and resolution to frustrate those
who by violating the law 'would
deny the rights and opportunities
of their 'brothers."

of Notre Dame, is the ex-ecutive

Good Score Means No Class
The team was finally ready. The
coach reminded the team of their
responsibility and a team member
prayerfully asked God to enable
the team to play the best that
they knew how, and then they were
there.
Thirty-seven fans from St. Paul
were there and some from miscel-laneous
mid-western towns came
to cheer home-town boys.
An hour and a half later all
doubt was gone: Bethel college
had won the championship.
Players, coaches, and fans laugh-ed,
jumped, screamed, hugged one

handy, congratulated everyone, but,
above all, no one doubted.

Before The Storm
A Picture Of The Calm az Chuck-Whole
The population of Dickeyville,
Wis. jumped from 69 to 106 on
the night of Nov. 7. The Bethel
Royals had arrived: 37 football
players, coaches, managers, stati-stician,
and bus driver (he was
an honorary Bethelite).
If there was any doubt in the
minds of any of the 37 as to cap-turing
the Badger-Gopher confer-ence
championship, it stayed in
the back of the mind. As the team
spread out for a good night's
sleep, three and four in a room,
and private conversations pointed
out the oneness of spirit and desire
to win, this doubt was pushed
even farther back.
In the morning time was occu-pied
by side interests which didn't
interest anyone. The eight-mile
ride to Platteville was uneventful
as well as the Saturday morning
television programs seen at the
Platteville country club while the
team waited for breakfast. Some

Breakfast was as uneventful as

their bus and rode toward Platte-ville.
Finding the school by asking

been awfully funny had the future

The team donned their football
gear in a class room, a plain class

Jubilant Fans Traditionalize
Storm Bodien New Sidewalk
by C. N. Elven
A gun is fired and is faintly heard through the howl of the wind
and wild cheering. Four o'clock Saturday the Blue and Gold of Bethel
won the B. G. C. championship and all its glory, in a long to be re-membered
19-0 shutout.
About 11:30 the team and a load of loyal rooters streamed from
their buses breaking the silence with wild, noisy, revelry. Ma Chris's
efforts were futile to keep the jubilant flans from the Women's Dorm.
Half the team sped through the ladies' halls shouting "We're champ-ions—
we did it—we did it!"
A victory bonfire was started on the sidewalk; bedraggled fans
and fans not so bedraggled, gathered around and sang the school song
and stood by being happy.
Don Sension: I can't think of a
better way to end my college
football career—When I turn pro
—ah-'well ("He'll get a divorce,"
interrupted his wife, Pris.)
Lance Dailey : Each time I got
my man with a good block that
championship was that much clos-er;
and it really tastes good.
Connie Woodall: We won, we
won, and we're champions, and we
shut 'em out—zero, nothing—what
a way to get it.
Jerry Oas: Most of us were
really up for 'em—breaks were
constantly a factor for both sides. The wind was awful cold, swept
across the prairie all day.
A Fan: They were great—the guys hit like they never hit before.
And that Hudson, you should have seen him catch that TD pass. Both
Linden and Hudson were murder on defense.
Stu Luckman: I'm the happiest guy in the world; it was great to
be captain of such a tremendous team. I was proud of the terrific team
effort, each guy did his part real well.
Ken Baird: The man with the golden arm (Les Borms) came
through—he pitched two passes for touchdowns and completed another
to Art Erickson for another point.
